I Picked up a NA6 a few years ago as a drift missile and shes been great to me as a learner car, scored a Link Piggyback ECU for $50 and want to throw some boost at her. Just wanna run the build by you guys and see if I'm on the right track. Keep in mind this build is going to be CHEAP, i don't care if this block pops it gives me a reason to put a 1.8 in the car and drop that spool. also having to buy 2 cast manifolds is laughable with the prices now in days.

My goals are in the 160-180hp range, My girl drives a 500 Abarth and i feel like that's all the power i need at this point.

I've been running the stock 6" welded for the past year and shes been taking the abuse from the stock power train. I also have a full 1.8 rear that just needs a new open diff when the 1.6 blows.

I have parts I'm reusing from my Evo that are dropping the price of this build
OEM Intercooler
AEM trueboost<--- does anyone have experience with ebay MAC solenoids, lost mine
AEM Wideband

I need to pick up rx7 injectors and a disco potato from the zilva guys

Is it worth buying the FM o2 signal modifier at my power levels as the link piggy back did not include one.

The link SerialPort connector is only 115 usd now, should i grab one because using this controller seems like it might be hell.

I understand the spool on the 1.6 sucks, is there anything affordable that would help getting the spool in the 3400-3800 range that isn't a over investment?
(adjustable cam gear, oem 1.6 turbo cams, auto cams, etc)


Also i just got this piggyback yesterday and obviously its for a 1.8 it looks like it piggy's the 1.8 o2 sensor, so I'm assuming I'll have to change out to a 4 wire sensor?
